xWeeping Willow Tree by Colin James
E
In the cold grey light of morning
E
They slipped into the creeping fog
A
They could barely see the headlights
E
They could barely see at all
B
They made a pact they had to keep
AE
Down at the weeping willow tree
E
They parked the car right by the train tracks
E
Looked each other in the eye
A
The time has come now for redemption
E
There's no need to wonder why
B
And then they got down on their knees
AE
Beneath the weeping willow tree
A
There's a light
E
Breaking through the morning rain
A
One more time
B
Weeping willow cries again
E
He said "Baby don't you know I love you?"
Nobody seems to understand
A
This old world's the devil's playground
E
And I can't be the way I am
B
So that's the way it has to be
AE
Beneath the weeping willow tree
B
That's the way it has to be
AE
Underneath this weeping willow tree
